Livebook may have been created for machine learning, but because it can connect to your live running app, it means you can also use the graphing and analysis tools for doing Business Intelligence (BI)!

Check out this guide that walks you through connecting Livebook to your app running on Fly.io and start gaining insight!

This post explains why this is a big deal: https://fly.io/blog/better-business-intelligence-in-elixir-with-livebook/

In episode 57 of Thinking Elixir, we sat down with co-host Cade Ward to hear how he and his team tackled a problem of hosting live web chats with crowds of 120K+ users coming together for live events. On the show, we have talked with a couple guests with similar bursting high-load situations. Cade had been through it too so it was time to dig in and cover how this situation can be solved. We cover the different attempts and temporary solutions used and the final solution that has been working really well. In fact it works so well, during a recent event, the auto-scaling didn’t kick in and everything was still fine!

In this post I invite readers to take a (hopefully) practical journey with me learning more about GenServers. I share both my successes and failures in the hope that it can help others learn more about using and scaling processes.

Lots of fun challenges. I used LiveView hooks (which are great) and was very proud not to introduce an actual timer until the very last step of the project.

LiveView lets us do so much without writing custom JavaScript. But sometimes, we have to interact with it. Thankfully, LiveView and LiveViewTest still make it a joy to do so.

Finally, be prepared. Know what you want and don’t want in a new gig. Write it all down (paper is better) and prioritize your interview questions to align with those needs. https://elixirfocus.com/posts/elixir-job-resources/

I think Elixir developers (me included) often misuse Behaviour to define common interfaces.

In this post, I’d propose to use Protocol more for defining common interfaces and use Behaviour more for sharing common logic.

And you may see why I made Promox and Objext to fill the gaps I find in the current Elixir community.

In this post we are gonna see how to handle background processes synchronization using powerful Elixir tools such as GenServer and DynamicSupervisor. Using these tools we can see real concurrent capabilities of Elixir.

For the example application, we are gonna sync GitHub Mentions for a specific user in a given GitHub repository. This sync should be made every X period of time to make sure we have Mentions up to date. We will be using GitHub’s REST API to fetch all Pull Request comments on the given repository, and then filter these comments by Mentions for the given user.
